Developmental positions are the natural positions we see in early development that set a child up for further development. They are a core part of the foundation for learning and help set the stage for forward progress. When a child increases his or her ability to maintain a developmental position, it demonstrates an increase of core strength. Progress in this area helps support the child's development in the areas of attention, self regulation/ self control, fine motor skills, visual perception skills and eye tracking skills, hand dominance and bilateral coordination.

As you engage in the developmental positions shown below, remember that the position is the important part, you can utilize any game or reinforcing activity that fits your child so don't limit yourself to the ideas we supply. But, come back and share your favorite activities in these positions with us for sure!
